A liquid crystal display device has a liquid crystal display module including a backlight unit and a liquid crystal panel; a first polarizing plate attached to a side of the liquid crystal panel, the side facing the backlight unit; a transparent front plate mounted on a side of the liquid crystal panel, the side not facing the backlight unit; a transparent organic medium layer placed between the front plate and the liquid crystal panel; and a second polarizing plate attached to a surface of the front plate, the surface opposite from a surface thereof closer to the transparent organic medium layer. An end section of the second polarizing plate is sealed using resin so as not to be directly exposed to air.
